リュテンの滝・トップ2

The above-mentioned Möhne Waterfall is not a waterfall in the usual sense. Rather, it is an artificially created dam in the Möhne River, from which an equally artificially created moat (mill race) was diverted, which in earlier times powered a grain mill. Today, the water in the former mill building still powers a generator to generate electricity. Like many rivers, there are several such dams on the Möhne (some up to about 2 meters high). The hydropower was used, among other things, for wood processing (sawmills) and stone processing (see, for example, the marble and granite processing by Dassel).

Waterfall near Meschede, also called Strülleken.

Nice for a break you can also put your feet in the water

It's beautiful what our nature is capable of.

As the first major tributary of the Ruhr, the Möhne is known for its natural beauty and its length of 65.1 kilometers. The river area is also a European protected area with renatured sections and species-rich wet meadows. Numerous refreshments and hotels are available along the Möhnetal river landscape, while the Skywalk and the Möhnesee Tower offer fantastic views.

One should not misunderstand the term water point. It is not drinking water.

Unfortunately not always water-bearing (2021)
